Oh, my! I was so worried that I would have nothing to post in the summer on my little blog and I am ending up posting daily or sometimes more than once a day! Yikes!
All
of you who live on or near large bodies of water ARE SO LUCKY! We spent
5 days next to Lake Michigan and I could not get enough of the views!
As you know I live in the middle of corn and soybean country and even
though our views can be pretty, I am jealous of those of you who just
have to look out your back door to see this beauty!
So......I
am linking up with Vicky at Traditions, Laughter and Happily Ever After
and some other fun bloggers to discuss what we have been doing this
summer!
I have been LOVING the Daily 5 study that I have been involved in
this summer! I actually finished the book this weekend and am now ready
to go back and re-read the important parts. We just returned from a
quick trip to Michigan which is where I finished the last chapter. Here I
am enjoying the great outdoors with my Daily 5 book! 
I
did get the opportunity to enjoy some PEOPLE beauty, too! Here are
pictures of my beautiful mother and my lovely daughter! It was so much
fun to spend some time with them!
The
other thing that I have been doing with my time is working in my garden
- both at school and at home. I love to spend time with my flowers!
They have been in survival mode, though, this summer because of the
drought we are experiencing. I feel guilty watering them when our corn
and soybean plants are so thirsty.....

I would love to hear what you have been doing with your time! Write your comments here or link up on Vicki's blog! We are lucky to have these summer weeks to catch up on everything that we put off doing during the school year!
